At the core of my work is a deep respect for each person’s lived experience and identity. My current person-centered practice is heavily informed by my background in community mental health, case management, and advocacy; I approach therapy through a multicultural and accepting lens, always seeing you as a human first — not a diagnosis or a problem to be fixed.
My goal is to create a space where you feel genuinely heard, respected, understood, and supported. Together, we work to identify your strengths, explore challenges, and develop tools that align with your values and goals.
I draw from a variety of evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), trauma-informed care, and Solution-Focused Therapy. By integrating these approaches, I strive to offer individualized treatment that supports healing, growth, and meaningful change at your own pace.

Life is always challenging, and my goal as a therapist is to work alongside you to address issues that are keeping you from living life according to your expectations. I believe in leveraging your strengths, your unique sense of self, and resources, to work towards your personal or relational goals. I have experience working with adults, adolescents, families, and couples in non-profit, residential facilities, in-home, and outpatient settings across the Twin Cities area.
My primary specialty area is working with families and couples with high conflict. Other specialty areas include cross-cultural issues, relationship issues, communication issues, parental issues, anxiety, depression, and impulsive behaviors. I speak fluent Mandarin, Cantonese and intermediate Malay. I am trained in EMDR and am an Enrich/Prepare facilitator.

My name is Courtney Mensink and I have a license in both mental health and addiction counseling. I have worked in the field of addiction counseling since 2019 and have been licensed in mental health counseling since 2023. I specialize in working with individuals that are experiencing addiction, depression, anxiety, personality disorders, co-dependency, and self-esteem issues. I am passionate about helping people learn better coping skills, emotion regulation, and self-awareness and acceptance.
In my practice, I use evidence-based approaches like CBT and DBT. With a client-centered, compassionate approach, I work to empower clients to develop coping skills, challenge negative thoughts, and build emotional resilience, guiding them toward lasting recovery and improved well-being.
I understand how overwhelming it can feel to face addiction, anxiety, or depression. You don’t have to go through this alone. Together, we can explore your struggles, build coping skills, and work towards a healthier, more balanced life. If you're ready to take the first step toward healing and change, I’m here to support you on your journey.

You don’t have to face things alone. Whether you're exploring your identity, coping with overwhelm, or working toward better balance in your life, I’m here to support you. I'm a licensed therapist in Florida and Minnesota, offering in-person sessions in Mount Dora, FL and telehealth across both states. I work with individuals, couples, and families, helping clients build on their strengths to navigate challenges with more clarity, confidence, and resilience.
I specialize in supporting children (ages 9+), teens, and adults as they manage stress, ADHD, life transitions, anxiety, and relationship issues. My clinical focus includes mindfulness, emotional regulation, communication, conflict resolution, self-awareness, and self-esteem.
My approach is collaborative, grounded, and tailored to each client. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), holistic practices, and other evidence-based tools to support your unique goals. I believe that every experience carries meaning—and that healing starts with understanding, self-connection, and practical skill-building.

I believe that building a solid relationship is a key component of a positive therapy experience. I use a person-centered approach to create a safe, inclusive, and welcoming environment for each person to share their unique story with me. I work regularly with the LGBTQAI community and feel strongly about keeping this a safe space for all.
I have a passion for working with college students/young adults, helping you to work through life transitions, and better understand yourself and others. Through my sex therapy certification, I am constantly working towards destigmatizing sex and the like topics.
People universally want to feel heard, understood, and seen, and I aim to provide this for each person.

I provide a safe, supportive space where you will feel heard, understood, and free from judgment. Whether you’re looking to heal, find balance, or simply just have someone in your corner, I’m here to support you every step of the way. I specialize in working with caregivers of loved ones with special needs/chronic illness, maternal mental health, and borderline personality disorder. I also enjoy practicing family therapy.
I offer years of experience supporting individuals coping with the stress that accompanies being a caregiver. I love supporting the interpersonal relationships within a family and helping everyone in a family unit understand each other and "speak the same language".
I tailor my approach to fit your unique needs, meeting you where you are and working together to create a form of therapy that feels right for your goals. If I sound like someone you could connect with, reach out, and we can set up a free consultation. I would love to hear more about you!

I am passionate about helping others thrive, not just survive, on their journey. I have a special interest in family of origin issues, pre-marriage counseling, divorce, remarriage, blended families, and codependency issues.

I am trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). I work with individual adults using a systemic, strengths-based, positive, solution-focused, integrative approach. For clients who are interested, I also provide Prepare/Enrich Relationship and CliftonStrengths assessments.

I work with ages 18 and up, and have a special interest in anxiety disorders, grief, and trauma treatment. My top priority is to ensure effective therapeutic treatment, while providing a compassionate, trusting, and non-judgmental environment for everyone.

I have a passion for working with adolescents and young adults and for the unique struggles that they face. Using a person-centered approach, I aim to create a space for you to tell your individual story in a safe and trusting environment. I want to know you and help you feel that your problems are valid, real, and manageable. Though we are all individuals, we grow up and live within systems and social contexts that shape our experiences, and I do my best to acknowledge this aspect of you in addition to your autonomy.
There is no "right" reason to seek therapy. Sometimes life is hard, and talking to a therapist can make it feel a little easier. Whether you are experiencing stress and anxiety from school, feeling sad about a break-up, frustrated from losing a job, or overwhelmed about politics and the state of the world, we can work through that together.
